@Woke_a_hontas@mosseri If someone was spewing hate speech in the street you'd expect that to be dealt with wouldn't you? If the police arrested them would you call that censorship because you didn't get to hear it? Pick your battles
@nilpholan@Huge_Materia@PodSaveAmerica what so many do and I'm glad neither of you have any comprehension of that because its a fucking awful feeling. I'll spare you the details. There's a reason it has 48k likes and AOC supports it. Open your minds. Be allies.
@nilpholan@Huge_Materia@PodSaveAmerica experienced racism I can tell you even a gesture like this, how ever small you may see it means something. The more people, especially those in positions of power, that make their support clear the less prevalent racism will be allowed to be. No one should have to go through
@Huge_Materia@nilpholan@PodSaveAmerica Can we not focus on boosting that feeling up and making it a reality instead of being negative when small things are happening, yes more needs to chance but a step is a step even if its a baby one
@Huge_Materia@nilpholan@PodSaveAmerica I'm not American, non are my party. I know all politicians lie, I'm not naive, I've seen it and I've felt it.

Medicare for All is not a radical idea, but let me tell you what is. A cruel system that causes 92 million Americans to be uninsured or under-insured during a pandemic, while the health care industry made $54.6 billion in profits during the last quarter alone. That's radical.
@Huge_Materia@nilpholan@PodSaveAmerica Its marketing if no change happens when it can, right now its advocacy, its speaking out, its awareness, its support. And I don't think as a white guy its your place to say its an empty gesture. It means something. It means something to the people its for.
@DbtheeBustocles@nilpholan@PodSaveAmerica I don't think that, my point is supporting movements is important, however you do that. It shows whats important to you and what policies you can expect when the time comes.
